This biscoff latte is a smooth, bittersweet latte made with the combination of sweet, caramelised cookie butter, espresso and foamed milk.
I've been a little obsessed lately with this latte. If you haven't been on tiktok recently, this biscoff latte has been blowing up. When you think about it, how could this possibly go wrong. Biscoff, or better known as speculoos, with coffee?!
The combination is a smooth latte with a sweet caramelised note. You'll love it!
What is Speculoos?
Although most people will be familiar with 'Biscoff', the name 'Lotus' branded their cookie, most people will be less familiar with the traditional origin of this commercialised cookie! Traditionally called speculoos, speculaas or spekulatius, these are spiced gingerbread cookies traditionally prepared for St. Nicholas on Christmas day in Belgium and the Netherlands. Lotus has commercialised this incredibly delicious cookie and created their signature 'biscoff spread' which has been gaining an incredible following. I mean what is not to love about a sweet, spiced, caramelised cookie butter?!
Different Preparation Methods
When preparing this at home there will be different preparation methods depending on what kind of coffee you have available.
In essence all you need is:
- a shot of espresso
- 1 tablespoon biscoff spread
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- Crushed biscoff cookies (optional)
If you have a coffee machine a shot of espresso is easy to measure. If using instant coffee powder I would prepare a concentrate to replicate an espresso shot.
I wouldn't recommend using a french press to make this. The coffee from a french press is usually not as concentrated and can dilute the flavour. That being said, it will still be delicious if you do make it!
